For Younger Readers

Easter & Advent Writings

Essay Collection

Two of G. K. Chesterton's most important and well-known works are contained in this volume: Heretics, and Orthodoxy.

In Heretics, Chesterton addresses the intellectual movements of his time that he considered most prominent and destructive. Chesterton confronts relativism, individualism, neo-paganism, and other trends of the modern period, paying special attention to the artists and intellectual elite of his time. Orthodoxy is a classic that is part memoir, part apologetic. It exhibits Chesterton at his finest—a combination of literary wit, theological acumen, and pointed cultural critique. The two works complement each other perfectly, providing an accessible entry point to the battleground of truth and falsehood.

Lexham Classics are beautifully typeset new editions of classic works. Each book has been carefully transcribed from the original texts, ensuring an accurate representation of the writing as the author intended it to be read.

The Collected Works

Orthodoxy

Catholics and Protestants alike have long appreciated G. K. Chesterton’s Orthodoxy as a classic work of Christian apologetics. In it, Chesterton recounts his quest to found a new religion, a philosophy of life that would include everything that makes the most sense of the world, only to discover at the end of his journey that the religion and its philosophy already exist. It is Christianity. This new version of Orthodoxy with annotations and guided reading by Trevin Wax will make Chesterton’s classic more accessible for the first-time reader and will also provide greater insights for the person who has enjoyed Orthodoxy for many years.
